The prince in the previous life was assassinated. Bai Guo didn't know how he died, but he thought it was the eldest prince who did it.
Bai Guo saw the prince sitting first on the left.
It took two quarters of an hour for the emperor to arrive, followed by the queen.
Everyone stood up and saluted the emperor, "Long live the emperor! Long live the queen! Thousand years ago!"
"Get up, there is no need to be too polite during the family dinner today." Xuan Xian sat in the upper position and glanced down below. The invisible majesty made everyone lower their heads.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone thanked them again before sitting down.
Si Jiaojie sat behind the small table that was a little lower next to Xuanxian, and the queen's clothes on her body made her look sacrosanct and upright.
"This year the Ministry of Etiquette has rehearsed a new dance for the Emperor. I think it is very good, so I will show it to everyone today." Si Jiaojie has the demeanor of a mother who cares about the world, and she is even more kind when she smiles.
Naturally, there was no one who could not respond.
The nun behind Si Jiaojie immediately clapped her hands three times, and saw two rows of dancers coming in from the outside in unison, and began to dance with graceful postures and graceful movements.
The leader wore a gauze on his face, and raised the ends of his eyes, looking honest, affectionate, charming and coquettish.
This is the fox eye.
Everyone seemed to be aware of it and began to look at Ginkgo frequently.
Compared with the dancer's fox eyes, Bai Guo's eyes were more affectionate and infatuated.
Those eyes look like this to everyone.
If it weren't for that indifferent temperament or those rude words, I would often be unable to help but blush at such looks.
Xuanxian frowned, "Go down."
The dance is not over yet.
Si Jiaojie's smile froze on her face, and then she nodded with a bright smile again as if someone else was dazzled and said, "If the emperor doesn't like it, just go down."
The dancers bowed and left.
The second dancer at the back who was about to go on stage didn't know whether she should enter or not.
Because of this fox-eyed dancer in the palace, Xuanxian, who had not noticed Ging Guo at first, looked at where Ging Guo was sitting, and then said, "Kangle County Lord is still young, please change the tea."
Bai Guo stood up and leaned towards the superior, saying, "My maid, thank you, Your Majesty."
Pang Yan stepped forward and replaced the wine in front of Ging Guo with tea.
Many officials began to have random thoughts in their minds.
Could this be the emperor reminding them that the current Lord of Kangle County is still young and not suitable for entering the palace? Need to wait for some years?
Some officials felt that Xuanxian was hitting Si Jiaojie in the face.
The Queen here had just asked a dancer to humiliate the Lord of Kangle County, but when she turned around, the Emperor took great care of the Lord of Kangle County.
For a time, more eyes were placed on Ging Guo, both covertly and overtly.
"Since my father doesn't like to watch dancing, how about I play a song for my father?" The fourth princess Xuan Duanya stood up in a dignified manner.
Xuanxian laughed and said, "Okay!"
It is naturally good to receive blessings from your daughter on your birthday.
Xuan Duanya stepped forward with a graceful manner, and the palace maid quickly placed a futon in the hall and a piano on a small table.
Xuan Duanya sat down on the futon and plucked her knuckles on the strings.
The soothing music sounded, and everyone's attention was focused on the bursts of piano sounds.
Bai Guo couldn't help but look at Xuan Duanya.
What happened today? Either let someone with the same fox eyes as her dance the lead, or choose the song "Ask the Thousand Army" that she played in the Queen Mother's Palace last time?
Ging Guo lowered his head in a funny manner, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Do some people want to know how the emperor feels about her, or do some people think that this feeling can be treated equally towards anyone?
Xuan Yuyan had heard Ginkgo play it once, and it was only because she had heard it that she knew how big the difference was. She couldn't help but look at Xuan Duanya with ridicule.
That is to say, the Queen Mother rarely attends such lively banquets, otherwise she will be embarrassed.
She doesn't like Ging Guo, but she also doesn't like this person who is always pretending!
Until the sound of the piano fell, all the officials couldn't help but praise. Xuanxian's eyes were dark, and he looked at Xuan Duanya intently for a while, nodded, but said nothing.
There were no words of praise and no look of joy.
Everyone didn't know why. It was obviously a very nice piece of music, but why didn't the emperor feel happy about it?
Xuanduanya bit her lip, stood up and went back to sit down.
Apparently Su Jiao, the palace maid, said she heard the Lord of Kangle County play a song for the emperor, and the emperor was very happy.
Why was it that today she was playing the music of Lord Kangle that only the Queen Mother and her younger sister had heard before, but she couldn't play it anymore?
The imperial concubine also realized something, so she stood up and said to Xuan Xianfu: "Speaking of which, I have also heard that the Lord of Kangle County's piano music is outstanding. It's a pity that I have never heard it with my own ears. Today, with the help of the emperor, I Why don’t you, Lord Kangle, also sing a song on your birthday?”
After Xuan Duanya finished playing, the emperor's expression became a little colder. The imperial concubine came to Xuan Duanya's rescue.
Xuan Xian naturally understood, but he glanced at Bai Guo and said: "They are all the sound of the piano, what is there to compare."
Bai Guo chuckled at these words.
This is to save face for Xuan Duanya.
The emperor was afraid that she would become willful and directly chose this song. Anyone who could hear it would know what was going on, and then Xuan Duanya's face would be completely humiliated.
It's a pity that the imperial concubine didn't hear it. Instead, she retreated in a weak manner, "Your Majesty is right. It's my concubine who is ignorant."
As soon as these words came out, Xuan Xian almost laughed angrily.
In front of so many people, would he not save face for his concubine? !
The atmosphere in the venue cooled down slightly because of the imperial concubine's words, and some people's eyes turned towards Ging Guo.
The emperor and the concubine are of high status and naturally no one can bow their heads. Those who bow their heads can only be...
In the midst of these looks, Bai Guo stood up and bowed, saying, "The imperial concubine will play whatever music she wants to hear, but I don't dare to act like one."
When the little palace maid heard this, she stopped packing her piano and withdrew.
The imperial concubine smiled slightly, looked at Bai Guo nonchalantly and said, "Kangle County Lord, you can play any song you like, and I can listen to whatever you want."
Ging Guo smiled, rarely raising the ends of his eyes.
This made Xuan Xian slightly surprised.
Has the temper of Princess Kangle improved?
Ging Guo walked out slowly, sat down on the futon in the center, and tried the strings with his fingertips. Bursts of thick piano music rippled through the hall.
Only then did Bai Guo hold the piano on his lap. At first, he pressed the strings with one finger and plucked the strings with the other knuckles. He gradually increased his speed from slow to slow, and the amplitude of the plucking also slowly became smaller. The speed began to increase and his left hand began to move. The pressure began to gradually increase.
Bursts of exciting and thick piano sounds accompanied by muddy timbres covered the sound of the audition. The strings vibrated one after another, like the sound of heavy drumming. But when the speed increased, you could faintly hear thousands of troops. The sound of fighting.
The sound of fighting brought with it the sound of weapons falling to the ground, and the sound of drums began to be suppressed, replaced by "dong dong" sounds. At first, no one could hear what it was, but when the sound of the piano began to dissipate, everyone suddenly Understand, this is the heartbeat!
It’s the exciting heartbeat!
The heartbeat is getting faster and faster, as if a person is shouting something hard.
Gradually, the number of heartbeats increased, one after another, and before one ended, another one started.
At this time, the sound of the piano began to change again. The sound of horse hooves was no longer running around, but in unison, and there seemed to be countless cheers around!
By this time, no one could fail to hear what the music was.
——Return from the formation!
This tune was played when Xianguo was made a vassal state, but it was not so lively at that time.
The song continues
.
The cheers stopped, the chants started, the clinking of cups began, and the accompaniment of dance music began.
These sounds began to weaken again, and what could be heard clearly were the sounds of cattle and sheep, the joy of the people's harvest, the sound of chickens laying eggs, and the joyful sounds of every family.
It was also at this moment that everyone could hear the expectation and determination in the music.
It was Cheng Zhou's expectation to welcome the generals who returned victoriously, and their determination that they would definitely come back alive!
As soon as the song ended, Bai Guo placed the qin on the table, stood up, saluted to the superior and the noble concubine, and said, "The song played by my maiden has broken through the formation and returned."
The imperial concubine smiled a little reluctantly.
Compared with this piece, the artistic conception of her daughter's performance was too small.
"...This song is better, but is it right to play it on the emperor's birthday..." The imperial concubine glanced at her superior with some embarrassment.
However, this was not echoed.
Si Jiaojie lowered her eyes because she knew there was going to be a war.
Many officials did not respond because the part they were touching had already shown it.
The remaining ones who were speechless did not dare to answer casually.
After the imperial concubine finished speaking, she became silent again.
The imperial concubine became embarrassed.
It was only then that Xuan Xian looked at Bai Guo and said, "Good music! Good music! The music played by Lord Kangle is indeed unmatched. Kudos!"
As soon as these words came out, the imperial concubine and Xuanduanya both looked ugly.
One just finished playing, and the other just said that the music was not good.
The imperial concubine couldn't help but feel a little hot in her face.
This time the emperor really didn't show any respect to her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Guo bowed again, then returned to his seat and sat down.
At this time, Bai Guo found that more and more people were looking at her, and one of them looked too shocked.
Bai Guo looked over and saw that it was King Dingxi.
The shocked look was like seeing a pig climb into a tree.
The corner of Bai Guo's mouth twitched, he looked away, and then unexpectedly met the Thirteenth Prince's gaze.
The Thirteenth Prince's gaze was very hidden, and he immediately looked away when he was noticed again.
Like a child trying to sneak some candy and being caught.
Same as Bai Mingzheng.
Ging Guo withdrew his eyes.
The prince looked at Ging Guo carefully, and then withdrew his eyes.
Because this piano made the emperor happy, the atmosphere became lively, and the dancers behind also came up and continued dancing.
Bai Guo felt an extremely malicious gaze, and when he looked over, it was Xuan Duanya.
And Xuan Duanya's expression changed the moment Bai Guo looked over, turning into a gentle and dignified woman.
It's quite similar to the imperial concubine's tricks.
Bai Guo smiled at Xuan Duanya and raised the ends of his eyes.
Today is the emperor's birthday and she won't do anything.
But that doesn't stop her from holding a grudge.
The banquet became more and more lively as it went on, and everyone was entertained by each dance.
Bai Guo looked outside.
